Yeah it seems strange, like is this better for right handed people or left handed people when using the touchpad somehow I feel like it would depend on whether you use your right hand or left hand... I know in my case on a macbook pro, I use my right hand to mouse around and that is a stretch for my hands to reach down and to the left from my right hand which is ackward... as a vim user I value the idea of moving my hands as little as possible so the touchpad is definitely better then a mouse but still a last resort feature... still if it's further from my hand i dont' see how that could be good... but having it on the left side maybe if i was left handed the stretch would be somehow more optimized... but seems odd most people are right handed right? At least 70% from one google search indicates this is the case so yeah it makes no sense to me why a touchpad should not be centered or if anything biased towards the right side or ideally a configuration option...

I've just always practiced mousing with both right and left hands. It's good to have some balance in one's life. :-p

(I follow this philosophy in my martial arts as well. Which turned out well enough when on my black belt test I accidentally did all my techniques lefty and still passed!)
